New Orleans Terror Attack on New Year's Day Leaves 15 Dead, Dozens Injured

A suspect inspired by ISIS drove a truck into Bourbon Street crowds before being killed in a shootout with police.

The attack occurred in the early hours of New Year's Day on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, killing at least 15 people and injuring dozens more.
The suspect, 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar, was identified as a U.S. citizen from Texas who had posted pro-ISIS content online prior to the attack.
Jabbar was killed in a shootout with law enforcement at the scene, and an ISIS flag, weapons, and potential explosive devices were found in his vehicle.
The FBI has classified the incident as an act of terrorism and believes Jabbar acted alone, despite initial concerns about additional suspects.
The attack led to the postponement of the College Football Playoff quarterfinal between Georgia and Notre Dame, which was rescheduled for January 2 with an earlier kickoff time.
